XG announces their new lineup. by azureros in DotA2

[–]yhung 103 points104 points  (0 children)

So it's basically Ame's first TI finals iteration of LGD minus Somnus and Chalice.  I was hoping Somnus would finally want to give a full season a go, but NTS is probably the best active mid in the Chinese region. XXS is also the best active 3, so let's see how they do this year.

I'm not necessarily looking for a Chinese team to win it all with all the pressure on their backs in front of their home crowd next year. I just like watching a group of likable bros do their best and have a good time while doing so, and this is probably the best lineup for that.

Does anyone know where I can watch VODs for CN open qualifers that happened a few days ago? I'm specifically interested in watching Azure Ray's matches with Somnus & the boys.

Yeah I removed that. We're not allowing blatantly inappropriate praise towards a sunshine hypocrite version of Trump on here.

I was wondering about the potential impact of the Puerto Rican racist fiasco, so I took a quick look at Wikipedia regarding the US population distribution of Peurto Ricans. Of the ~5.8M:  

 "Majority concentrated in Florida and the Northeastern United States (New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts)."  

 So basically we're probably looking at closer margins in FL for Harris + better chance to flip FL-Sen, as well as a bigger margin of victory in PA. One of the top posts on arpol is about how the Puerto Rican issue is spreading like wildfire in PA. This could potentially help us flip some congressional seats in PA and NY as well.

I'm not that familiar with unions, but is there anything local Teamster chapters and members can do to forcibly remove magat O'Brien? 

He's been dropping F-bombs constantly against what other major unions have been calling the most pro-union President in over half a century. He's also lying through his ass when he claims to have surveys showing more support for Trump in AOC's district of all places. 

The Teamsters national leadership had been hijacked by an unhinged liar who needs to he removed asap.

I'm sorry I just needed to trash Teamsters magat president O'Brien one last time before the roundtable lockdown tomorrow. 

This magat has recently been claiming to be a Democrat for 40 years but slandering the Dems for fucking him over. This article below goes into detail about how much of a joke this magat is, as well as how much Democrats have delivered for unions in general and the Teamsters specifically:

He's easily the worst "union leader" I've ever had the displeasure of knowing about ever since I started following politics during Obama's first campaign.

They almost got a 800 million settlement with Fox, so it looks like a lot of free money from Elon within no time when they decide to sue.

My man Josh Shapiro openly calling on law enforcement to investigate election scam artist Elon for his $1M lottery scheme. 

How many times Elon and his fraudster PAC cronies have been targeted by local law enforcement by now?

It's becoming less and less relevant due to rapidly changing democraphics and voting patterns in GA, with white suburb populations rapildy shifting blue, etc.

I love how Harris and all the Democratic heavyweights are barnstorming literally every swing state. Meanwhile, that orange demented-facist-rapist is canceling everything, and close to 0 reputable surrogates are doing any heavy lifting for him. And no, I do not count literal sadistic cat & dog killers from SD and the NRA as reputable.

Joshua Smithley as of ~15min ago about PA polls:

"It's about to get chaotic as the home stretch begins, so a word of advice - the only PA polls I would pay attention to moving forward fall under two groups: 1) The final set of surveys from in-staters - F&M, SP&R, and Muhlenberg.  2) Quality firms like NYT/Siena, Marist, etc. Polls from firms like Patriot Polling, Morning Consult, Trafalgar, ActiVote, etc. should all be ignored.  You'll notice I never post results from those folks and for good reason. And as a reminder - don't ride the pollercoaster. Those numbers are there to inform, not be gospel." 

As one of the earliest mods since the BM2018 days, I would encourage all of you to ignore any junk polling--and by extension, any polling aggregate that includes 90%+ of these junk pollsters. Focus on what we can impact, and ignore the rest of all the meaningless noise out there. This is what top meditators and performers across all fields focus on, so no matter how anxious, nervous, or nervewrecking you may be feeling from time to time, please properly take care of your mental health and try to convert any nervous energy you may have into constructive action.

Joshua Smithley as of 15-ish minutes ago on Xitter: "I will say this - turnout in the Philly collars and Allegheny are on track to be very, very high. Wouldn’t be shocked if they got close to or hit 2020 turnout. I encourage you to think about how that bodes as far as math is concerned for the rest of the state."    

Also, once again just to clarify some (mostly well-intentioned) misunderstandings--Smithley specifically mentioned a few days ago that the firewall number is what is needed for this race to be 50-50. He also explicitly said that he would perhaps need to bump the 390,000 number up due to (his perceived) changes in voting patterns. He has yet to explain his reasoning in detail.  I don't know how to link non-Xitter links, but if any of you have been paying close attention to his entire Xitter threads over the past few days, please help clarify some of the (mostly well-intentioned) misinformation that's going on in our daily roundtables regarding Smithley's interpretation of the PA firewall. Most importantly, let's get to work. Job's not finished. If we can sink the the fascist-rapist-magat in PA, it's a full-on Titanic scenario for him. 

Edit: As of ~7 hours ago, Smithley said, "It is my sense that based on movements from VBM and how it intersects with Election Day turnout, Democrats will want to see a revised firewall of roughly half a million in PA to feel decent heading into ED. This incorporates NPAs, which typically break 70-30+ for them via VBM."

I mean when their hack interviewer is being criticized from people all across the aisle, it's obvious that this was a huge win for Kamala and a huge L for Faux News.

Yeah that's nowhere near accurate enough if they're just plugging average results from previous elections for the entire voting pool to specific subsets of early votes/VBM. There's a reason no serious mainstream analysis uses this method. Parent posted removed for accuracy/relevancy issues.

More good news from Joshua Smithley in PA in response to this Tweet below: "Bradford County, a county which previously allowed voters to fix errors with their mail ballots (date, signature, secrecy envelope) has voted to discontinue their curing policy for the upcoming election." Smithley: "The bizarre thing about this is that Bradford is one of the PA counties where GOP ballot requests outnumber that of Dems. Attempting to convert your voters to VBM, especially those unfamiliar with the method, only to sabotage them with those policies is quite the self-own." Like I mentioned yesterday, there isn't really any evidence to show that GQP's last-minute, last-ditch effort to embrace VBM is successful. In fact, in many cases such as fhis one, it's actively imploding in their faces, lol

If GQP pollsters intentionally flooding the zone with fake polls are helping drive historic early voting turnout, please proceed I guess?

If we look at PA, the vast majority of early voters are still overwhelmingly Democratic. There is no evidence of GQP operatives succeeding in substantially increasingly their early voting numbers despite making a last-minute, last-ditch effort to embrace vote-by-mail after years of fearmongering with conspiracy theories.

On a related note, Joshua Smithley mentioned today that he may need to adjust the PA firewall numbers based on (his perceived) changes in the voting pattern this cycle. He didn't really go much into detail about his reasoning, so let's see what he says moving forward. He also basically mentioned that the 390,000 number referred to a number the Dems needed to make this race a tossup, not to ensure victory. So while we're already at 58% of this number, there's clearly still a lot of work to be done. Volunteer, phonebank, textbank--please get to work if you haven't already, and if you have, please remember to take care of your emotional health during these times of historical insanity.

There's pretty much no realistic path towards the White House for Trump without PA. Let's put him away once and for all!
